Alex Meyer – President

Alex Meyer has large shoes to fill as Community Council President next year, but she has the right tools to succeed. She enjoys collaborating with other Council members and cannot wait to increase student involvement in Hackley events. Some exciting ideas Alex has in mind for next school year include having mini events before major ones, such as a Mario Kart tournament before Coffeehouse, and continuing the ever-present spirit in The Hive, the Facebook page for Upper School students. “Usually people think that if a girl president is elected, they’re not going to bring as much spirit. I really want to change that assumption,” Alex said.

Amanda Stern – Vice President

As school-wide Vice President for the 2016-2017 school year, Amanda Stern is looking forward to connecting with the student body. She is going to focus on creating a Hackley email newsletter and sending out more questionnaires in order for the Hackley community to be more involved in Council. “Hackley has been such an amazing place for me, and I want to make sure that it is that way for others,” she said.

Salik Awan – Secretary/Treasurer

After a successful year of being a Junior Grade Representative, Salik Awan felt that he was ready to take on the school-wide position of Secretary/Treasurer. He is excited to use his organizational skills in Council by making spreadsheets and establishing set prices for concession stands. “I’d also like to increase school spirit by selling Hackley scarves and entertainment packages at games,” he said. Salik is eager to make enough money in the 2016-2017 school year to fund events such as a pool party and a mini golf tournament.
